It’s been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You’ve probably heard that trope a time or two—but the process of actually making said breakfast when you’re fighting to wake up and rushing to get out the door isn’t always easy. It’s understandable to get in the habit of swinging through a Starbucks drive-thru rather than standing at the stove.
The Italian Grandmother Aesthetic Is the Perfect Elegant-Meets-Rustic Look

Think of the Italian countryside, and you’ll likely picture images of rolling hills covered in olive groves, idyllic villages, and aperitivos on a terrace before dinner. You can easily imagine entering one of the beautiful stone villas with its expansive windows and being greeted by the owner of the home: a sophisticated Italian grandmother.
In Italy, the combination of earthy materials like terracotta tiles with elegant Venetian glass chandeliers creates an environment that feels upscale without being overly pretentious or fussy. Who wouldn’t want to live in a place where friends and family are welcomed warmly and surrounded by rustic elegance from the moment they step inside the house?
But the style, and lifestyle, isn’t exclusive to Italy. Anyone can channel their inner Italian grandmother and recreate the feel of an Italian villa in their own home. Read on for advice and expert tips on how you, too, can get a little taste of la dolce vita without hopping on a plane.

“Italian style is defined by centuries of beautiful handmade pieces constructed by artisans with trades passed down for generations. Whether found in clothes, building materials, fabrics, lights, or ceramics, their fine construction and luxurious materials speak to the Italian way,” says Maggie Griffin, founder of Maggie Griffin Design.
This look has staying power. The Italian grandmother aesthetic leans into high-quality Italian craftsmanship honed over decades. It features furniture that looks like it’s been in a home for generations, often because it has been. And this heritage aesthetic is in line with many other trends we’re seeing, like coastal grandmother and grandpa chic, that celebrate traditional and timeless decor.
